What a GREAT haul in this year's seed exchange! Too many varieties to mention but there must be over a hundred different varieties. WOW WOW WOW Thank you Andy for putting in the hard work to make this happen and to all the growers who contributed!

On a lesser note, I noticed that some seeds I provided were not sufficiently dried and have some mold. Very sorry about this. Rookie mistake. Try a little hydrogen peroxide bath or just toss them. Apologies to all.

Tons of seeds. I was lucky enough to get a bonus 9.06 Brown pack. Good stuff!

Anyone know what's in the packs with the bible verses?

I believe that was included on the back of Jeff Theil's 1068.5 squash from 2020. Could be wrong...according to my wife it happens more than I care to admit :)

Can anyone tell me who the grower is the contributed the 7.69 lb tomato and lavender corn? they are in the same clear zip lock baggie.

I would like to know the tomato variety and what it was grown from?

Thank in advance.

That was this tomato. A few days later I tried to find a scale with more recent certification tags on it, and it lost a little weight in that time, so officially its the 7.69 Clayton. It was off the 6.48 Young.

Good luck! Ps the lavender corn is a 'very short' type, I guess they breed them like this to suit small gardens. It may only reach 4-5 ft.

Its a domingo lineage but it seemed a bit different than some other domingoes I've grown... Maybe there's a bit of pollen getting mixed around. I classified it as a megadomingo with the gpc because I didnt think it was the "original" domingo strain that I was used to and it may have outcrossed.
